We had so much fun with our children and grandchildren 10 of us in all at our photo shoot. Simon and his partner were brilliant at getting just the right posses meaning that the final photo/wall art is amazing.Many thanks to Simon for a beautiful piece that looks so nice on our wall. Definitely recommend Simon.

Me and my dog Twm really enjoyed our time during our photoshoot. Simon was very patient with Twm and was able to capture some amazing photos of us both. Amazing experience from start to finish and the photo results are much better than I thought they would be! Would highly recommend Simon to anyone. Thanks again Simon!

I recently was runner up in a competition and gifted the sitting to my son and daughter in-law.The photos are amazing and I believe the shoot was so much fun of them with my Grandaughter and the dog.Thank you so much.

Simon has been providing headshots and other photography for our business for about three years and we have been really impressed with the results. The studio is in a beautiful location, and inside there are loads of amazing pet photos that he's taken. Simon is very welcoming and great at relaxing people, with a cup of tea and a chat - all of which helps produce great-looking pictures! I would thoroughly recommend Simon to anyone looking for high-quality corporate or personal photos.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Simon for a dog photoshoot for my mother and her beloved furry companion, Rio. I must say, the entire experience was absolutely wonderful!Simon was incredibly accommodating right from the start. He took the time to understand our vision and preferences for the shoot, ensuring that every detail was tailored to our needs. His professionalism shone through as he expertly guided us through the entire process, making us feel comfortable and at ease.One thing that truly stood out was Simon's ability to handle any problem that arose during the shoot. Whether it was a shy moment from Rio or unexpected behavioural issues, he remained calm and composed, effortlessly adapting to the situation. His expertise and quick thinking truly made a difference, resulting in stunning photographs that captured the essence of Rio's personality.I wholeheartedly recommend Simon to anyone looking for a talented photographer who goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional results. His passion for his craft and dedication to his clients is evident in every interaction. We have already recommened Simon to friends and family and will back again in the future, should the need arise.Thank you, Simon, for your incredible work and for making the dog photoshoot such a delightful experience.

Very happy to recommend Downing Lifestyle Photography. Fantastic service with excellent results gained from a normally non-photogenic family. Friendly welcome. Quick turnaround from photo session to recieving the high quality pictures. Good parking facilities in a picturesque renovated shippon.Only very slight drawback is stairs up to studio may be an issue for wheelchair users .I will happily return for the next big family occasion.

We had family portraits done with Simon and truly couldn’t recommend him more. Great studio experience, so welcoming, really listened to what we wanted to achieve from the photos and fantastic at keeping the kids at ease/engaged.We had a wide range of photos taken on the day (mix of 5 adults and 2 young kids) the viewing session a few weeks later was also fantastic, plenty of time to run through the photos in studio, discuss, consider and select. In the end we liked so many of them that we purchased one of the photo packages with a selection of smaller prints and large feature wall art piece, couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out. As a family we are not the most comfortable lot on camera but Simon captured some truly lovely photos and put us all ease, we will definitely be back again for future portraits.The O’Driscoll family.

A really lovely experience, and fantastic photographs. Simon puts the whole family at ease, is very professional and ensures everyone has a great time. The studio is beautiful, and the quality of Simon's work is fantastic. Thank you, and we'll definitely be back.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from a Pawtrait session, but we have had an absolutely wonderful experience with Simon, photographing our crazy cockapoo puppy Ludo!Simon was so welcoming, friendly, professional, and guided us through the entire process - making it really fun and stress-free for everyone.. including Ludo! The photographs are absolutely stunning, and I’m so looking forward to showing them off to friends and family and on the walls around our home. Simon really went the extra mile for us, and we would not hesitate to return to Downing Lifestyle Photography in future to capture more special memories. Thank you again, Simon your work and service is amazing ⭐️

Great mix of professionalism and friendliness on the day of the shoot, leading to some great pictures of my Dachshund!This great service also carried on after my photos had been taken. With clear communication and prompt responses from Simon to answer any query I had - would definitely recommend.
